Flower Power

Gently does it

Rose Morley

Our nervous system is quite complex. It is capable of holding on to lots of little emotions that, over time, can build up and manifest as, for example, stress, anxiety, or even PTSD.

Flower essences can help to target the nervous system and release all those stored emotions that have been collecting— over a short or long period of time —helping you feel like you’re back on the right track and heading to where you're aiming to be. Throughout our adult lives, we strive to reach a state of balance, but with all the stresses and strains of everyday life that's not always possible, and this dissonance can put undue pressure on our nervous system. On the bright side, once we’ve started the release process, the nervous system can begin to correct and realign itself. For some people this may be a matter of just one or two consultations and remedies, for others the process may take six months or longer. This can depend on the length of time in which nervous system has been compromised.

Crowea (Crowea saligna), a remedy from Australian Bush Flowers, aims to restore feelings of peace and calm, helping to rebalance, re-centre and restore clarity. Daisy (Bellis perennis) from the Findhorn flower range, promises to work on those ‘out of body’ experiences brought on by trauma and shock. Wild Oat (Avena sativa) from the Bach Flower range is recommended as a nervine— a substance that calms the nerves. When used as a medicinal tincture, this remedy can help relieve physical nerve pain and chronic fatigue. It can also help to alleviate anxiety, depression, insomnia, and feelings of sadness. Using Wild Oat remedy to ease any of the emotions that are hindering the nervous system, may also target related skin conditions, such as eczema, and perhaps support us when we are unsure of which way to go in life.

Look after yourself and be kind to your body.
